13 victories shaping Melbourne’s 13th flag

You don't need videos or fancy technology to [censored] up cats supporters. Just remind them of the average age of their playing list.

Beware the hubris my friends. This sort of thinking never won anyone a flag. Stay hungry, stay humble!

Cats fans having nightmares still

One, two Maxi’s coming for you…

Lots of people talking about the Melbourne Cup but they seem to have got mixed up and are talking about horse racing???

“Tales from the Crypt”?

Kardinia Park; what number on Elm Street was that again?

Not in any order: 1. ABC multi-call was the best by the length of the straight: "Their run is a pleasure to watch". (After Brayshaw's goal'. 2. Kysaiah Pickett needs to be honoured on the forward line. IMO there were a couple of occasions where KP could have been 'hit up'. 3.TMAC didn't have a big impact but did some fantastic team things such as the unacknowledged love-tap to Petracca resulting in the dribbled goal. 4. Brayshaw was magnificent, and I don't just mean the uncle. 5.Tom Sparrow bears an uncanny resemblance to Canelo Alvarez. 6. Alan Jakovich's post-match gig with Gaddy Lyon is immortal. 7. All demon detractors are forgiven: you know red and blue are the best colours. 8...

Max Gawn is the best captain in the AFL James Harmes delivered the most sumptuous inside 50 kick of the year (century?) to set up Fritsch and kick-start the revival Christian Petracca produced one of the all-time great Norm Smith performances Luke Jackson is going to be some footballer Jake Bowey thinks this s**ts easy

Will NEVER forget the Rd 14 vs WC 2017 win. We hadn’t won in Perth for 12 years, so there was that. But when Tmac snuck that goal in right at the end… I screamed almost as loud as I screamed when Maxy kicked the winner after the siren in Rd 23 this year. Almost. 🙂

But never rule anything out. Who knows what will happen in the future? David Neitz was an AA CHB in 1995 before going forward and becoming Melbourne's leading goal scorer. Tom McDonald spent years in the backline.

I reckon the win over the Tiges on Anzac eve in Rd 6 should be higher than 11. Huge game in terms of generating belief in our system and ability to execute on a big occasion at the G. We beat Richmond at their own game. They challenged hard early, we were wobbling, but we steadied and won convincing in the end. They couldn't live with our intensity. First time i really started to believe we were genuine contenders. I have a soft spot for our Rd 1 win v Gold Coast 2015. First time i enjoyed a game at the G for a long time. Beautiful Saturday afternoon. First time i had a seen us score a coast to coast goal in an age as well. A real thing of beauty from Dom Tyson

Superb late-night, several-wines-in, five-weeks-later reading. Again and again, waves of ways of appreciating what has been gifted us.
